What I'm thankful for this week (so far)

Mark made it safely to his 5 mile hike backpacking site and had one bar on his cell phone to call me and tell me he made it and they got their fire going. Can't wait til he gets home tonight.

Had popcorn for dinner last night since I was by myself

Our 3rd wedding anniversary








All the leaves changing color on the end of my street

Spent all morning coloring, playing play doh, and blowing bubbles with Dylan.

Sonic for lunch - Dylan loved it!

Dylan is now napping - and so is Blarney - he came along for the ride to Sonic

The craft / holiday bazaar season is upon us

I haven't showered yet today...and I don't care (neither does Dylan)

Found Blarney's Halloween bandanna which I thought I lost

Getting ready to carve my pumpkin. I loved last year's ghost I did



Can hear Normandy High School's band practicing from the yard

Almost done with Season 9 of the old 90210 - I love you SoapNet

Having a Grey's marathon Thursday with Marie - we watched this whole season so far in one night..thank you DVR

Just the thought of putting up my Christmas tree and Precious Moments nativity set!! :)

Crystal telling me about Blarney coming to a local mall last Saturday. Dylan was pretty scared and climbed up on me.

Our trip to MI

Mark and I took a summer vacation to Michigan several weeks ago.

We went to Greenfield Village which was sooo awesome! Here's us on a Model T. I had gone there in the 8th grade, but honestly must not have paid too much attention to it. I wish we would have had more time to spend touring it - there was just so much to see. We spent so long there that we couldn't even get to the Henry Ford museum. We had bought a combo ticket, so we have to go back soon. The weather was great. We toured the house that Henry Ford built, and despite our tourguide being a db, that was pretty cool.



We also went to the MI Ren Fair. Remember this summer I posted how the GLMF jousters sucked - well they moved to the MI fair. It was okay, just not as good as we've seen in the past.



We also went to the huge outlet mall, Birch Run and Frankenmuth. I spent several hours in Bronners, buying tons of Christmas ornaments. I need to get a second tree, I have too many already. Oh, the problems I have. :)
